You can leave your hat on: Arshavin hides his hair cut ahead
of flying in his own stylist to London
Andrei Arshavin doesn't trust British hair stylists to
shave his locks - so he is flying in his personal groomer from his
native Russia.
The Arsenal new boy
doesn't appear to have the most sophisticated cut, but his wife
Yulia has told the 27-year-old to bring over the guy who has been
coifing his hair for the last two years in St Petersburg.
'We agreed that I'll fly over to London when necessary,' said
stylist Denis Volkov. 'He's going to be very busy for the next
couple of months and it's unlikely he'll have time to use my
services in St Petersburg.'
Just out of bed ... Just out the shower
... Just seen a ghost...
Untroubled by the credit crunch crisis gripping
both countries, Yulia insisted on Volkov's regular visits to
Britain, according to Tvoi
Den newspaper.
'Yulia superstitiously distrusts hairdressers in London and
insisted that her husband paid for his personal stylist's trips to
London for his hair cuts,' claimed the paper.
Volkov said: 'Naturally he'll have to fund my trips. But it's
not a problem, he can afford it. Yulia first approached me when she
found out that I was doing hair styles for Russia's leading figure
skaters and former Miss Universe Oksana Fedorova.
'She told me I was someone she could trust to work on her
husband's hair.
'Before Andrei left Russia I cut his hair shorter than normal so
that he wouldn't need me too soon. '
Volkov stressed: 'It's easy to work for him. So far he liked
everything I did. I've changed his style from glamorous Vidal
Sassoon to simple "streetwise guy" and I had no complaints from him
or Yulia.'
